Who hasn't ever dreamed of flying through the air like a bird? This kite, an original work of art from the imagination of its craftsman, was born from that dream. Amazingly realistic, the kite is said to actually attract "tonbi" birds, on which its design is based. And why not? Serendipitously, the word "tonbi" translates into English as the bird named "kite." So this is technically a "kite kite"! HAND MADE IN JAPAN

Japan is well-known for its stunningly beautiful lacquerware; in fact, the word "japanware" is a synonym of lacquerware. Around the middle of the 19th century, Japanese artisans began combining the country's traditional skill in lacquerware with the subtle beauty of pewter. Today this exquisite combination is carried on in the phenomenally attractive and refined tumblers offered here: tumblers featuring painted lacquer over a pewter base.

Pewter tumblers are ideal for serving both warm drinks (think "sake") and cold (think "beer"). They are also perfect for serving wine, with the distinctive beauty of the tumbler adding to the pure enjoyment of the wine.

These exquisite tumblers are available in a choice of five colors. They may be ordered individually or as a set mixing the colors of your choice, in which case, place each selection of color in the shopping cart individually. Each tumbler comes packed in its own handcrafted box of paulownia wood (kiri), making it ideal for use as a gift that will surely be treasured. HAND MADE IN JAPAN

Drinking sake from a decanter and cups made of pewter is, in a word, extraordinary. Why? Because the inherent water-purifying property of pewter makes the sake taste smoother and more mellow. Adding to this extraordinary taste experience is the extraordinary pleasure derived from partaking of sake from this supremely elegant decanter and cup set itself.

Though made of pewter, the decanter and matching cups feature an individually executed stripe pattern that creates an elegant look of modern refinement.

Equally noteworthy is the construction of the sake cups: the pewter is fabricated to be seamless, as if it were pottery or porcelain. For safe handling, the decanter handle is exquisitely wrapped in an attractive layer of rattan -- as beautiful as it is practical.

In Japanese culture, sake is traditionally imbibed at a warm temperature. So just how warm should it be? From ancient times it's been said that sake tastes best when served at a temperature close to human body temperature. Although everyone may have individual preferences in this regard, under no circumstances should sake be heated to a boil before serving. The key word here is "warm" -- not "hot."

Of course, sake doesn't have to be served warm. It's equally delicious served well-chilled, especially when taken in the larger-size cups provided with this set. Try sake both ways -- depending on the occasion, the season or your personal preference.

If you've had the pleasure of visiting an authentic Japanese sushi restaurant -- and we don't mean of the conveyor-belt variety -- then you may have experienced the elegant appearance and undeniable appeal of the wooden board on which sushi is often served. The finest sushi boards are made from high-quality hinoki cypress, which, in addition to its unsurpassed beauty, offers an antibacterial property so important to serving fresh sushi. At Japan Unique Gifts, our sushi boards are handcrafted using hinoki wood at least 300 years old. After cutting, the wood is allowed to dry completely before working it into final shape. No coating is used, allowing you to feel the natural wood and take pleasure from its pleasing fragrance. Our lovingly crafted sushi boards don't have to be used for sushi, of course. Their simple, elegant design makes them a perfect and unique choice for tableware of true distinction. HAND MADE IN JAPAN

Not too long ago, sake -- Japanese rice wine -- was a drink associated exclusively with Japan. Today, that's no longer so, and people worldwide have come to appreciate the delicate taste of Japanese sake whether served comfortingly warm or refreshingly cold. Even sake tasting events and sake sommeliers have appeared, and the number of sake connoisseurs is rising exponentially. In Japan, sake has traditionally been drunk, especially on auspicious occasions, from a small square wooden box known as a "masu." Originally the masu was used as a measuring cup (approx. 0.18 liter), both for sake and for rice. In its function as a cup, though, is when the masu really gives the greatest pleasure, the smooth feel and elegant fragrance of the wood adding infinitely to the drinking experience. The masu drinking boxes offered by Japan Unique Gifts are handcrafted using the finest hinoki cypress wood from trees at least three centuries old. And unlike many similar items on the market today, our masu are constructed the traditional way: using ingeniously interlocking pieces. No nails or glue are used. With an authentic masu of Japanese cypress, every drinking experience will become an auspicious -- and supremely enjoyable -- occasion. HAND MADE IN JAPAN

Traditionally, this beautifully handcrafted wooden bucket and dipper set was used at the start of each new year as part of a household's ritual welcoming of the change in the calendar. At dawn, the bucket would be filled with pure water from a nearby well, stream or river, and the water would be placed on the Shinto altar inside the home for the gods to imbibe. Later, the water would be used in making tea or the family meal, to begin the new year ritually cleansed. Today, it's not likely you'll be using such a utensil for its originally intended purpose. But as a unique Japanese accessory, this eye-catching bucket and dipper are sure to add an exotic touch to your table or to any decor. The bucket in particular is ideal for use as a champagne or wine cooler, and the two-piece set can also function as an unusual punchbowl and ladle. For connoisseurs of Japanese sake, you couldn't ask for a better serving set -- a definite conversation starter! The possibilities are endless. The unique bucket and dipper are both handcrafted from the finest-quality sawara cypress at least three centuries old. The production process, by a skilled artisan, includes more than 70 steps, each requiring years of experience in woodcrafting. With its copper accents, this is a unique Japanese accessory -- ideal to give as a gift, too -- that will be treasured for many new years to come. HAND MADE IN JAPAN

This elegant bag is handwoven from fine bamboo strips using a traditional weaving method. The use of thin bamboo infuses the perfect combination of pliancy and elasticity. The weaving pattern, a geometric graphic "hemp-leaf" design, is both simple and delicate -- as you would expect from Japan. The handle is fashioned from fern-leaf hedge bamboo interwoven with plaited cord for adequate strength and easy, comfortable carrying. The inner liner, made of cloth, is not detachable. The bag exterior is beautifully finished in clear lacquer.HAND MADE IN JAPAN
